The goat is one of the 12 animals in ancient Chinese history which accepted an invitation to meet with Buddha. In honor of the animals that accepted his invitation, Buddha assigned them a place in the Chinese Zodiac. Those born under the sign of the goat are said to be shy, empathetic, elegant, and calm. The Year of the Goat covers those born in 1919, 1931, 1943, 1955, 1967, 1979, 1991, 2003, and 2015. The Perth Mint’s Lunar Coin series celebrates all characters in the Zodiac, with the goat landing eighth in the series.

On the reverse side of the 2015 1 oz Silver Australian Goat Coin is Natasha Muhl’s image of a goat family. The family can be seen grazing in a rural setting. An inscription right above the family of goats displays the Chinese symbol for goat. An engraving below the image reads “Year of the Goat.”

The obverse side of the coin bears Ian Rank-Broadley’s right-profile portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. Engravings surround Her Majesty’s image, including “Elizabeth II,” “Australia,” and the weight, purity, metal content, year of minting, and face value of the coin in Australian dollars.

The Perth Mint is the final holdover from the Royal Mint system in Australia. The first facilities in the mint system opened in the mid-1800s, but following the closure of the Sydney and Melbourne facilities, the Perth Mint now stands as the oldest facility in Australia. These 2015 1 oz Silver Australian Goat coins have an MS69 grade from the NGC. This grade means the coins have a sharp, attractive strike, and fewer than two blemishes.
